About "Motores Dominicanos" by cbuchholz

51 Comments

After I moved to the Dominican Republic, I became fascinated with the motorcycles that fill the streets there. I guess there was alot of motorcycles in the states too, but I never paid too much attention to them. It always seemed in the states that men ride motorcycles the way women wear jewelry. They serve a much more utilitarian purpose here. Here they're held together with tape and twine, and their frames are scarred and bruised like the faces of fighters.

These illustrations are based off a collection of sketchbook drawings I've done. You can see those here...

Very cool!
Very artistic, lovely scetches, the colours work great together, and very insightful post on your design."it always seemed in the states that men ride motorcycles the way women wear jewelry" hahaha!
I'm not from the States, but I totally get what you're talking about. These symptoms characterize most of the western world imho.
Great work :)

PLEASE never leave us again! We need your over the moon artistic and conceptual brilliance back where it belongs, in shirt form! Nice one here, great explanation, and this better not be the last we see from you in 2010!
